A Big Country and No Mistake

The following are O. few extracts
from an article which. the Hon. Ed
ward Atkinson, president Of the man
ufacturers' mutual fire insurance COM
pany of Boston. furnished for the Cen
tury Magazine in it's January number,
and shows what aa vast knowledge
that gentleman has of this country
and its resources, and ought to be
read carefully by every American citi-
zen. The comparison made with re-
gard to our national domain will
open the eyes OF people who don't
realize what a big country this is.
The state of Texas alone is larger
than either the Austrian empire, the
German empire. France, Spain or
Sweden. California, Dakota and
Montana are separately larger than
Norway. New Mexico is as large as
Great Britain and Ireland and larger
than Italy. Kansas is considerably
larger than Turkey in Europe. Flor
ida is as large.as England and Wales.
Kentucky is, larger than Portugal.
Indiana is larger than Ireland or
Scotland. West Virginia is larger
than Switzerland. Maryland and
Vermont are each but a triae smaller
than Belgium. Taken as a whole, the
United States are vastly larger than
any Erropealn country except Russia.
Mr.. Atkinson says that the visionary
possibilities of the future product OF
the United States may be imagined:by
reference to- the following statements;
The land, I'M actual use for growing
corn, wheat, hay, oats and cotton in
the whole country now consists OF
2T5, 500 square miles, or fraction
less than the area OF the state OF Tex
| as. The entire wheat crop, of the
united States could begrown on wheat
land ot the best quality selected from
that part OF the area of the state OF
4 Texas by which that single state
exceeds the present area of the Ger.
man empire. The cotton factories oi
tho world now require about l2, 600.
600 bales of cotton Of American
weight. Good land in Texas produces
one bale 70 an acre. The world sup
i ply of cotton could therefore begrowr
on less than $4,000 square miles, OF
upon an area equal to only seven Pc
| cent. OF the area OF Texas.

Girls Should be Useful.
From the Harrisb urg independents.

from tne darrlSb urg independents.
There is large class OF Americans
people OF opulence, men OF acquired
or inherited wealth who do not hes
itate to lnculcate the belief among
their Children, and especially their
daughters, that it is useless and un-
necessary for them to learn to do
anything useful in connection with
domestic manual labor. It is no un-
common expression in the higher
circles Of society for ladies to declare:
'My Husband or my father is rich;
why, then, should demean myself by
manual labor?'' In such 'society" it
is deemed vular for lady to know
how to do a useful thing in connection
with housekeeping. Parents in these
cases rear their daughters not to learn
to do the useful, and many mothers
whose husbands are under hard
strain every day in the year to find
the wherewlth to keepup appearances
impress their daughters with the idea
that labor is degrading, and that a
hand which shows any sign of manual
labor will not be sought in marriage
by a gentleman. We confess we do
not know how true this is. If it is
correct, then indeed it is evidence of a.
lack OF manhood; and, if it is not true
is a wicked libel on the character of
an American gentlemen
Girls who won't learn to do useful
things at home because their fathers
are rich, lose opportunities to fit
themselves to meet the exigencies and
accidents of life. 1t has always been
the custom for the princes of Ger
many to learn trades. The bourbon
princes of France all Acquire trades.
Some of them We're printers, book.
binders, shipwrights, house-carpenters
joiners and painters; they did not fol-
low these vocations, but they under
stood them. Royal and princely
ladies in Germany and France under
stand every function of housekeeping.
and know how to perform it.
They can go to the dairy and stable
and handle milk or a COW and a horse
with dexterity and satisfaction. The
Prince of Wales is a bookbinder.
Each OF his brothers has trade, and
his sons are now learning trades, ac-
cording to their tastes. All the ladies
OF the English royal household are ac-
complished III practical things-they
know how to do useful things even if
they are never called upon to perform
them.
The mawkishness of sentimentality
which encourages girls not to do use
full, practical and Strengthening labor
is debasment of the oblest impulses
OF nature. When such an inculca-
tion is encouraged it tends to deprive
girls especially from developing their
mental and physical forces, to enerate
them and impair functions which, if
properly trained, might develop the
good and grand in their character.
Work properly performed is recup.
orator, not an exhauster, of mental
and physical forces. knowledge is
power, is an axiom of truth. To know
how TO do the useful is an accomplish
ment of which any girl can be proud,
and especially an American girl.

We were rather earlier than the ma

Aast-room, evidently novices bound
for Monte Rosa, giving one the idea
by their appearance that they were
already beginning to think climbing a
mistake rather than otherwise. kl
It was close upon 2 O'Clock, the
hour Franz had named, when we got

such as Ihave never heard before OF

ran out to it's full length and then
found myself powerless to move, an

well-nigh int olsrable. Burns and the

OUR LITTLE GRANDCHILD.
Cleansed, Purified and Beauti-
fled bY the Cuticura Remedies.

It affords me pleasure to give you this report
of the cure of our little grandchild by your Gu
TlCURA REMEDIES, When six months old his left
hand began to swell and had every appearance
of large boil We poulticed it, but all to no
purpose. About five months after il became
running sore. Soon other sores formed. He
then had two of them ON each hand, and as his
blood became more and more impure it took
less time for them TO break out. A sore came
on the chin, beneath the under lip, which was
very offensive His head was one solid scab,
discharging Il great deal. This was his condi-
ton at twenty two months Old, when | under
took the care of him, his mother having died
when he was little more than a year old, Of
consumption (scrotula of coursel He could
walk a little, but could not yet up if he fell
down, and could not move when in bed, having
no use of his hands. ] Immediately commenced
with the CurIcuRA REMEDIES, using, the CuTI-
CUItA and CUTICuRA SOAP freely, and when he
had taken one bottle of the CuTIcURA RESoL-
VENT, his head was completely cured, and he
was improved iii every way. We were very
much encouraged, and continued the use of the
remedies for year and half. One sore after
another healed, a bony matter forming in each
one of these five deep ones just before healing,
which would finally grow loose and were taken
out; then they would heal rapidly, One of these
ugly bone formations preserved. After taking
a dozen and u half bottles he was completely
cured, and is now, ut the age of six years,
strong and healthy child. The scars ON his
hands must always remain; his hands are
strong, though we once feared he would never
be able to Use them, All that physicians did for
him did him no good. All who saw the child
before using the CUTIcURA REMEDIES and see the
child now consider it wonderful cure, If the
above facts are of any use to you, you are at
liberty to use them. MRS. E. S. BRIGGS,
May 0, 1885, Gl2 f. Clay St, Bloomington, Ill.

he appeared to his grandmother, who being
